A Fall to be Thankful for ( Part 1 of 3)

While celebrating Thanksgiving this past weekend and counting our blessings, we remember how thankful we are for our friends and family. This year we are most thankful for those that spent their time away from work, paid crazy costs for flights, and were willing to sleep in Avery's princess-walled room in order to see us and enjoy our life with us. It is no doubt because of those visits that this experience is going so well.  

And talking about visitors? These past few months, from August to mid-November, the door to the Flood flat was busy! We loved every minute of it, but due to all of the fun we were having, have not had the time to post much on each individual's time spent here with us. So here are some of our favorite photos and moments from the most recent jet setters that landed on our doorstep. 

August 17- 26 : Nanny and WePa are Back! Just a month after we got back to London from our trip home, without enough time to even miss them again yet, Nanny and WePa were here again. Since they saw London previously in cold weather, it was nice getting them to our parks, the outdoor theatre, and they even took us away for a quick weekend trip to Dublin, Ireland.

Arica and Eddie - August 23-28 Overlapping with Nanny and WePa came Arica and Eddie. It was so nice having a few nights to spend just the four of us (while mom watched the girls!).  They spent the days looking around town, the boys caught a football game, girls shopped and at night we played endless games of euchre.

Where you going Arica? ( Weeping Willow tree at Hyde Park)

Baby on Board! We can't wait to meet baby boy McCracken!!

 After they left London, Arica and Eddie headed up to Scotland and Ireland to continue their trip


Remember, I said we had a lot of visitors... part 2 of 3 coming soon!
